Hey, sorry to clutter up the board here with this, but I just feel positive someone here will know what I'm talking about.
I need the name of a movie. I don't have a specific movie in mind, just a type of scene, so there's any number of different movies that could work. I just can't remember the name of any of them at the moment.
The scene that I'm thinking of goes something like this: There is a character who is nonconformist. At some point in the film, this character winds up with the proverbial 1000 yard stare on his/her face, and verbalizes agreement with those wishing the conformity. Then, you realize that the character has been brainwashed, turned into a robot or alien, or whatever. I'm hoping to obtain the name of a movie in which the character has been brainwashed into conformity, rather than replaced by a robot a la Stepford Wives.
It has to do with a paper that I'm writing. I just want to make quick reference to the movie as a metaphor (so it needs to be a fairly well-known movie in the USA) for a group of people who fought hard for a government program, but then one day suddenly switched to their opponent's position against the program.
I hope this makes some sense.
Thanks in advance.
Mike
